I feel like a huge burden is been lifted.
In other hands with another lender the 8% Ring Card would be a great useful card asset. However in the control of such an unpredictable lender as barclays who routinely dashes plenty of their cardholders expectations by unilaterally cutting limits, and many times on only a whim and a whisper, i decided today finally that they are simply too much of a risk to depend on for stability, so they are now dismissed from off my profile.
While they may be completely reasonable in some of the aa actions that we often read about on them from our fellow forum members here, their company card policy and indeed, their timid behavior is just not worth having to look over your shoulder and worry if you might be next.
They seem to do far too much of it for their own good IMHO and although i have never given them any reason to drop the hammer on my only card account with them in over (2) years, like many of you, i also have long term plans in continuing to build a respectable enough profile that can last.
So today i've exercised my right to proactively take precaution with my own risk assessment of them and deem them far too unreliable.
It's a real boost to confidence to finally be free of any barclays now.
No one should ever have to feel hostage to them and that's certainly not a very effective business model if you ask me.
(PS) Now a ton of new barclays approvals will magically appear in the approvals forum

I love it.
Congrats. Sounds like you made a very rational decision.

They obviously didn't sound very happy about it and for once it was THEY who sounded nervous and interrogated over this decision.
I also made sure to go straight thru to a U/W to ensure that it is officially "closed at consumer request", and that a letter will be expected stating this very thing.
